I have had a bit of an absence from posting lately, largely due to the fact that I got visited by one of those pesky viruses and I have had a bit of trouble shaking it! I am sure that is in no small way related to the pressure I am feeling over my slow progress in the studio… I hope I will start to get my energy back this week!
Spring seems to be finally breaking here. The temperatures are above zero degrees and the snow is finally beginning to make a marked retreat. Soon all the dull white will recede into a short-lived brown – that brief moment of silence between the long Winter and the energy of Spring.
I have started a new canvas and I am passionate about the subject. I plan to post progress of the painting if I can take the time to pull myself away from it this week. I fired up the airbrush and I plan to play with it this afternoon. The sky in this one needs a smoothness that I have not been able to get on a canvas this size with even my biggest brush. The paint dries too fast to blend well. So let’s hope this offers the solution.
It is important that I finish this one before the snow is gone…. Stay tuned…. 🙂
When I was in art school a lot of artists were using air brush those days. It seems to have fallen out of fashion or I just on’t hear about it anymore. Good luck with the painting and it was great to read your post today.
Love,
Linda
Great to have you back! You have been missed!
Speaking of clouds. Apparently, we are on the same wave length again. “Clouds” http://kinseybarnardrocks.blogsppot.com

Thanks, Linda!:) Pulling out the airbrush has been quite energizing and fun!
Kinsey – Actually this sky cannot have a cloud in it anywhere….
Glad to have you back. I really missed you. I hope you are feeling better. It sounds like the airbrush might help you to find your muse.
Thanks, martin – I am certainly moving in the right direction! 🙂
Glad you’re feeling better! Looking forward to seeing your latest masterpiece. 🙂
I have 2 airbrushes & remembered too late what a pain in the @$$ they can be. However, since I seem unable to sell them, I’m considering giving them another shot, myself.
Hi Lana – If you mean pain in the a** to clean and for prep – I agree! Let’s hope the results make it worthwhile…!
